what are the ultimate rare rifles/carbines that you are searching for to "complete" your collection? The ones that you've maybe never seen and some say are only legend. The Holy Grail if you will...

Serbian Mauser Djurich M1880/07
Dreyse Karabiner 1857
Prussian Chassepot Carbine
Mauser GAG model 1879 Border Rifle
Turkish Mauser M1887
Irish Mauser M1871


Only seen one of those for sale before. Sad thing is, i dont think i'll ever be able to afford them :(

BRNO CZ Latvian Contract Mauser carbine in .303 British. 'the best of both worlds!'

Does this animal even exist? I have a picture that purports to be one - but I have pics of Nessie and Sasquatch too.

(and I want a Winchester 1895 Russian contract in 7.62x54r)

Many desired, but one off the top of my head...

- M28/30, any, but especially one used in World Shooting Championships held in Helsinki in 1937.

Well since we are dreaming a P-13 Enfield but since I have about as good chance of a flying pig bringing me a snowball from Hell as getting a P-13 a No1MkV Enfield would be next

The automatic Revolver was a Webley-Foresby which would be great too

as would a WWI Dated P-08

More nice additions would be a No4 Mk2 Irish Contract and a Win M1917 with the fine adjust sight and a 22 trainer built on a No4 Enfield receiver
